| The following is from a
review Joyce made of us on YELP (www.yelp.com): |
| Cathy & Eric Thompson are a young married couple: both
are concert
pianists. I've seen them perform at a Dean Lesher Hall in Walnut
Creek, at Antioch's First Congregational Church, & at their
beautiful home in Brentwood on their 2 grand pianos, one of which is a
Steinway. They are both outstanding piano virtuosos, playing music by Bach, Chopin, Schumann, Brahms, & more recent composers. Between numbers they share fascinating historical tidbits, & their personalities are as laid-back as their virtuoso playing is superb! They are having a soiree (at-home concert) on May 16, 7:30PM & on Sunday, May 18, 3:30PM in their MUSIC & WINE series. It's FREE to all under 12, & only $10/students, $20/general admission. Their phone # to RSVP is 925-513-7156. I didn't know all their historical information, tho I'm a professional musician (harp). They not only have great technics but topnotch expression AND they are so well coordinated they seem to breathe as one & play perfectly together. It's like being at a concert by Franz Liszt, or Mozart (whom Eric uncannily resembles) in the 18th or 19th centuries... I've encouraged Eric to do more composing, because I heard a choral work he'd written, & it was EXCELLENT. Five Stars to Eric & Cathy Thompson, & their Piano Duo called POLYHYMNIA! |
